Compania de Telefonos de Chile

Abstract

The newly privatized Chilean telephone company, Compania de Telefonos de Chile (CTC) must raise substantial new funds externally in order to finance its expansion program. This task is complicated by Chile's small, illiquid capital markets and the skeptical view of Latin American borrowers held by investors outside of the region. CTC's chief financial officer must determine if listing American Depository Receipts (ADRs) on the New York Stock Exchange is a viable financing option for the company.

Maxum seeks an oil-price hedging strategy that yields substantial cash during oil price spikes, is affordable under ordinary circumstances, and is easily managed. It is striving to avoid a repeat of the challenging situation encountered in 2008 when spiking oil prices resulted in substantial working capital buildup, heavy draw down in its bank credit lines, and missed investment opportunities. Students must differentiate among the income statement, balance sheet and cash flow effects of Maxum's exposure to oil prices, and understand the payoff profiles of various option hedges such as call writing and buying, costless collars, and "ratio writing" (unequal combinations of puts and calls). They are also challenged to design a hedging program that supports Maxum's growth and investment strategy by yielding substantial cash primarily during extreme oil price increases; imposes low or no costs otherwise; and does not require active, judgmental trading decisions to execute.

A prolonged depression in paper prices necessitated the development of a comprehensive financial plan to relieve the financial pressures on Stone. Among the alternatives to be considered are straight debt, convertible debt, and equity.
